The City of Leicester College
The City of Leicester College is a vibrant and popular school with a commitment to the highest level of pastoral care and academic achievement. We are a comprehensive multi-cultural school offering unique opportunities for all.
Our ‘motto’ Ambition for All reflects our aim to challenge everyone in our community to be the best they can be, in every aspect. This motto is underpinned by our four Character Pillars; Intellectual, Moral, Community and Performance. Our program develops academically able students who have the courage to take the opportunities that come their way while being kind to those around them. This success is shown in our examination results and fantastic character of our students.
We have an extremely diverse community and respect, civility and honesty at the heart of what makes us such a wonderful place to work and to learn. Students and staff from all backgrounds can come and have their differences respected and their contributions valued. Student success is numerous and varied; from young sports men and women performing at national level, to academic brilliance gaining places at the Oxbridge Universities. Students excel in the arts, which we are passionate about and see as essential to developing the whole person.
